The Digitalizationof Danau Aek Natonang in Samosir
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a digital tourism promotion medium in the form of a German-language website about Danau Aek Natonang in Samosir. The website was developed using the 4D model, which consists of four stages: Define, Design, Develop, and Disseminate. The website was created using the Weebly platform and contains five menu sections: Home, Legend, Danau Aek Natonang, Destination, and Contact. The results of this study show that the website can provide information about Danau Aek Natonang to both German-speaking tourists and the general public. The validation results from the material expert and the media expert were very good. The material validation score was 95, while the media validation score was 95.4. Both scores fall into the "very good" category. The website can be accessed at https://danau-aek-natonang-in-samosir.weebly.com/.It serves not only as a medium for tourism promotion but also as an information source about Danau Aek Natonang
